Argh! I installed Sarge and then upgraded to unstable, where some very important packages seem to have serious problems. After upgrading, while booting I got an error, something about keymaps not being found, I don't really remember and it suggested to run install-keymap, which I did, but it didnt work, because it said it couldnt connect to the shell (or something like that, i forgot to write it down).
The wierd thing about it is, that this problem did not ocure, when I installed everything in only one partition.
Usually i seperate /tmp and /var on their own partitions ...
Having to run unstable, to get all the latest apps sucks big time!
Yea, I gave it a few days, thinking the bug will get fixed and tryed again after ~4 days ... the same.
Blah, I don't really wan't all the latest packages, but stable is still to old for me, and i don't like running unstable, since there's allways a posibilty that the system will break, posibly at a time i need something done ... I'm going to try Arch again.
Yea I think arch is what you need as well.
But only you yourself know what you need ofcourse
I don't know if you know but get the 0.7.1 pre iso instead of the regular 0.7.0 . There have been quite big changes since 0.7.0 and upgrading to 0.7.1 will be a bit more difficult then just starting off from 0.7.1 directly.
